Portuguese

Is this also from Portuguese? "A Galega" means "The Galician" = "The Northern Portuguese woman".--Pedro 13:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Portuguese origin of the name would be very probable, as they were the first Europeans to find these islands. My Wikidness 12:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Madam Sere

This article mentions Madam Sere, a code language or play language like pig latin. This also happens to be used in Mauritius. Here's an example from M Creole: Mogo pege agalege ( Mo pe ale) - I am going.Domsta333 (talk) 10:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rumours

There has constantly been rumours in the Indian Press since 2006 that Mauritius is willing to cede the Agalega island to India, specially on the Times of India which the government of Mauritius has vehemently denied, in 2012 the Times of India publish another article on the same matter again and was denied by Mauritius again. Please don't add this rumours on this article.Kingroyos (talk) 16:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Agaléga

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Agaléga's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "MMS":

From Rodrigues: "Climate of Rodrigues & other outer islands". Mauritius Meteorological Services. Retrieved 26 January 2015.
From List of countries with overseas military bases: "India: Building a Sphere of Influence in the Indian Ocean? - RealClearDefense".

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:21, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
